Over the surf, a sound crept into his cell, twisting and winding into his ears. Wincing at the sound, Rodolphus covered his ears, trying to drown the sound out. Failure greeted him, he could not ignore the Dark Mark burning, just as he could not block out his wife’s exaltation .

Maniacal laughter from Bellatrix accompanied Lord Voldemort’s second birth.

Sliding to the ground, Rodolphus covered his eyes and wept. There were worse things that staying in Azkaban for the rest of his life; having to return to his Master and his wife the first thing that came to mind.
